Product Description
Duckbill Tree Support Kits – Model 68 DTS and 88 DTS
The Duckbill DTS (Duckbill Tree Support) Kits provide a fast, professional solution for stabilizing newly planted or vulnerable trees without using unsightly stakes. These complete anchor kits are ideal for landscaping, commercial installations, municipalities, and more. Each kit includes everything you need to anchor one tree securely—just add the proper drive steel (sold separately) to install.
Each DTS kit uses three Duckbill earth anchors with galvanized cable pre-attached, as well as tree collars and wire rope clamps to complete the system. The anchors install quickly into the soil with a hammer or drive tool, then lock in place when the cable is tensioned. Once buried, only the collar-to-cable connections remain visible at the tree base, leaving a clean and low-profile result.
Key Features:
- Complete anchoring kit for one tree—no separate components to purchase
- Anchor rotates into a secure “load-lock” position after installation
- Fast and clean install—no concrete, no holes, minimal site disturbance
- Includes galvanized steel wire rope for long-term corrosion resistance
- Professional, low-visibility alternative to staking
